Many of these companies with operations locally have some significant property assets and need sophisticated insurance solutions. It is therefore crucial to have the right expertise in place to address these clients’ needs. Wilson’s appointment demonstrates XL Catlin’s commitment to investing in our talents and delivering for our clients and brokers in the region.”
